The Family Health Book
A highly informative and attractively arranged reference work
The prominent doctor and television journalist Dr. Marianne Koch has written a book on health which explains the functions of the human body and its most frequent illnesses, as well as their prevention and treatment. Only by staying informed can a person stay healthy.
The author describes the heart and blood vessels, breathing, muscles, bone structure, digestion, hormones, the immune system and the human body as a whole. Dr. Koch elaborates on the most frequent infections and chronic diseases and their possibilities of treatment.
Marianne Koch is an adherent to classical medicine but is also open to established alternative healing methods. A balanced, conscious way of nourishing oneself stands at the top of her self-help possibilities but is not the only good advice she gives readers who want to enjoy a healthy life.
